PROJECTS

The Capes Foundation plays a fundamental role in the expansion and consolidation of stricto sensu postgraduate courses (masters and doctorates) in all states of the Brazilian Federation.

Capes’ activities can be grouped into the following lines of action, each developed by a structured set of programs:

• evaluation of stricto sensu graduate centers;
• access and dissemination of scientific production;
• investments in the formation of high level resources in the country and abroad;
• promotion of international scientific cooperation;
• induction and promotion of initial and continuing teacher training for basic education in classroom and distance formats.

Capes has been decisive for the successes achieved by the national graduate system, both with regard to the consolidation of the current framework, and in the construction of the changes that the advancement of knowledge and the demands of society demand.
